$270,000 sales in just 23 days 😇

Most people talk about don't sell your app with lifetime deal. But let me talk about "Oskar Moen" today who raised $270,000 in just 23 days.

Honestly, no one talk about how to get investment to grow SaaS. Without investment or liquid money its really tough to build SaaS, market that and get users on that. So how you will build or improve your SaaS? So for this kind of situation Founder should sell product as a lifetime deal. Then they can get huge amount of money for their next step. They can invest that on team, marketing and planning.

Get back to Oskar Moen, I salute to this guy 🫡. He launched Sendpilot on appsumo recently. And noticed in just 23 days he raised $270,000 and thats insane 🙌. I checked his message on appsumo slack channel how he did this.

Here is that:

  1. When a user bought deal from appsumo he asked for a review.
  2. When a user asked questions or need support he answered that in just 2 mins avg.
  3. After support he mentioned about reviews.
    Mainly, he clearly focused on user satisfaction and then review from users.

So why it works?

  1. Appsumo clearly mentioned that if 1 tool will get more sales, more positive reviews then appsumo will run single ads for that tool.
  2. Appsumo send dedicated mail for Sendpilot
  3. Appsumo send top 9 deals mail where Sendpilot mentioned
  4. Appsumo send top of the weeks mail where Sendpilot mentioned

Overall, as Sendpilot get more sales, more positive reviews, Appsumo did their best for this tool as well. So instantly they hit that amount.

I recently launched our app on appsumo as well, you are curious here is that: https://appsumo.com/products/slashitapp/
